So did I until I started to get contact dermatitis from the chemicals. Its all dyesub now.
I gave the tanks and dishes away 3 months ago to someone wanting to learn darkroom stuff. I still have the enlarger with diachroic filter head.
And unless you can predict the future, you don't know when the car/motorbike/sports personality is going to look their best, so you have to take photos continuously. If you wait till the right time, you now have a nanosecond to take the shot.
I used to do colour film and slide in a jobo rotary processor, but then all printing was digital. That helpfully meant no direct chemical contact.
The sheer speed and sense of timing possessed by the supremely skilled photojournalists of half a century ago borders on the supernatural.
But not the impossible.
I think those instructions are *still* in Chinese, mate. ;-)
yes that is a risk. I use quite a lot of silver-based BW film because i th ink it is the most likely to survive longest. Also I process it to a posit ive image so the future 'finder' can at once see what's there.
Why?
